describe-custom-metric

Description

Gets information about a Device Defender detect custom metric.

Requires permission to access the DescribeCustomMetric action.

See also: AWS API Documentation

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Synopsis

  describe-custom-metric
--metric-name <value>
[--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml]
[--generate-cli-skeleton <value>]

Options

--metric-name (string)

The name of the custom metric.

--cli-input-json | --cli-input-yaml (string) Reads arguments from the JSON string provided. The JSON string follows the format provided by --generate-cli-skeleton. If other arguments are provided on the command line, those values will override the JSON-provided values. It is not possible to pass arbitrary binary values using a JSON-provided value as the string will be taken literally. This may not be specified along with --cli-input-yaml.

--generate-cli-skeleton (string) Prints a JSON skeleton to standard output without sending an API request. If provided with no value or the value input, prints a sample input JSON that can be used as an argument for --cli-input-json. Similarly, if provided yaml-input it will print a sample input YAML that can be used with --cli-input-yaml. If provided with the value output, it validates the command inputs and returns a sample output JSON for that command.

See ‘aws help’ for descriptions of global parameters.

Examples

To get information about a Device Defender custom metric

The following describe-custom-metric example gets information about a custom metric named myCustomMetric.

aws iot describe-custom-metric \
    --metric-name myCustomMetric

Output:

{
    "metricName": "myCustomMetric",
    "metricArn": "arn:aws:iot:us-east-1:1234564789012:custommetric/myCustomMetric",
    "metricType": "number",
    "displayName": "My custom metric",
    "creationDate": 2020-11-17T23:02:12.879000-09:00,
    "lastModifiedDate": 2020-11-17T23:02:12.879000-09:00
}

For more information, see Custom metrics in the AWS IoT Core Developer Guide.

metricName -> (string)

The name of the custom metric.

metricArn -> (string)

The Amazon Resource Number (ARN) of the custom metric.

metricType -> (string)

The type of the custom metric.

Warning

The type number only takes a single metric value as an input, but while submitting the metrics value in the DeviceMetrics report, it must be passed as an array with a single value.

displayName -> (string)

Field represents a friendly name in the console for the custom metric; doesn’t have to be unique. Don’t use this name as the metric identifier in the device metric report. Can be updated.

creationDate -> (timestamp)

The creation date of the custom metric in milliseconds since epoch.

lastModifiedDate -> (timestamp)

The time the custom metric was last modified in milliseconds since epoch.
